If you answer yes, they double the fine for "intent", If you say no, they double the fine for "not paying attention". <br /><br />Correct answer is "I'm sure you can tell me?". I once cheekily answered "Surely you don't expect me to look down at the tacho on my bike at such speeds?" which got me a fine-doubling as well :-(Ole Phat Stuhttp://www.savory.de/blog.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-5670833364938688802014-05-21T10:07:00.615+01:002014-05-21T10:07:00.615+01:00I guess that's one way of ensuring everybody d...I guess that's one way of ensuring everybody drives at the correct speed.

And I think they were in the same locations. Which goes to show that those are speed traps. <br /><br />He did not fess up about them till the insurance came due, and he said something about the higher rates because we both had tickets. <br /><br />These were my first tickets in over 45 years of driving. Not so for him.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-65460192855431331122014-05-21T05:24:33.761+01:002014-05-21T05:24:33.761+01:00I find it much "easier" to keep under th...I find it much "easier" to keep under the speed limit after two speeding tickets and a warning within a year. The deputy who gave me the second ticket was much more cheerful than the first one. And he might have given me a warning but he came back and said "You had a speeding ticket in Yakima County last year." Hmmmmmmmmm, I am glad that the warning for months earlier was not on my record.Katneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13399336885633739593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-4131157565379800372014-05-20T21:34:30.086+01:002014-05-20T21:34:30.086+01:00What amuses me is the number of bogus "speed ...What amuses me is the number of bogus "speed check" signs. The vast majority seem to be bogus, as all the local motorists going well above the limit have obviously realised. It's only the non-locals who take any notice of them.nickhttp://nickhereandnow.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
